a new day, other events, we will talk about the most relevant ones, vitaly portnikov will work for you on the espresso airwaves. greetings, friends, the politclub program is on the air , vitaly portnikov is with you, the main events of the week, the main trends in conversations with our speakers for the next two hours, and we will start, of course, with the situation at the front. our first guest is roman svitan, military expert, reserve colonel of the armed forces of ukraine, military pilot-instructor. congratulations, mr. roman. greetings, i wish everyone health. so, let's start with today's strike on a russian

airfield. there are, of course, different messages from the ukrainian and russian sides. the russians say that they shot down almost everything, the ukrainians say that the aggressor suffered significant losses, the loss of combat vehicles and other equipment. how important are such actions in general and how significant are they from the point of view of the potential of the russian armed forces. russians on the perimeter. in ukraine, from the point of view of hostilities, and in principle from the point of view of the border, about 40 airfields, on which they deploy their combat aircraft, 40 airfields, not much, there in the mode of dispersion, but one to three squadrons can be based on an airfield, squadrons are about 12 aircraft, well , of course, three squadrons for 30 aircraft can be located at each airfield , these are big forces, means. which the russians have prepared to carry out combat tasks, they simply

cannot approach the front line at all, because of our air defense system, we do not let them in, and then with the help of long-range bombers of the su-34 kilometer type 60-70 are dropping glider bombs, these are the main u34 bombers heading towards the donetsk front, well at least. on the donbass, on the zaporozhye direction , they are based near rostov, this is the airfield on which the strike was carried out, and optimally, now, while there are no f-16s, we can neither shoot them down in the air nor repel them, our air defense systems , they will go away at a range of about 70 km, because just at the limit of the range, at least, they drop corrective air bombs, they can be subtracted, because the bomb itself will not fly , it needs to be lifted by air, they need to be neutralized on the ground, that is , these means of delivering air bombs,

we just tried to destroy them on the ground , that is, these are several waves of drones, most likely this was the work of the special services, that is, in we have two special services that produce drones at their base, this is the main intelligence agency, the security service of ukraine, at that base on their own, the budget produces drones and they perform this combat task, the flight range is somewhere around 150 km in a straight line control, it is possible with the help of radio transmitters to control the plane , in principle, the operator can direct the plane to the target, even avoid some obstacles, that is, by and large, correctly, a competently prepared operation, it can disable, well... a squadron is a minimum of planes on the ground, and the point is that any plane, any, any aviation equipment,

due to the fact that it must be light, it is assembled mainly from duralumin, that is , duralumin is a fairly soft material that, in principle, can be sewn with a screwdriver , and if a few kilograms of explosives are detonated nearby, even filled with striking elements, it disables it, most of the aircraft...helicopters are parked in parking lots filled with kerosene, and then a proper, competent, let's say, explosion, detonation burns the plane, due to that , that the kerosene starts to burn, it will not be extinguished until it burns out, but the gun has no ego, and it somehow approaches it, so we use such and such techniques, today it turned out well, just on this an airfield near rostov, there they have three military airfields, one has a 76, we haven’t reached it yet, two airfields have bombers, su-24 and su-34,

ours flew to one of the airfields, tell me, sir roman, but to what extent can the russians, let's say... restore their potential if they lose planes, what are their technical capabilities? the fact is that they have hundreds of aircraft, those that perform combat tasks, these are the main aircraft, let's say about a hundred su-34s, about a hundred su-35s, about a hundred, they have started there now give su-35 and rana, but these are still small fleets, that is, it is possible to consider the main aircraft - these are aircraft on base 2. there are 300, 300 of them, old soviet planes that are working, performing a combat mission now on the front line, somewhere around one and a half to two hundred, if we are talking about su-25 and su-24x, this is also a 125, 124 army bomber , that is , roughly more than 500 aircraft are currently on

the front line performing combat tasks, this is the main level, they also have... there are, well, a few thousand aircraft that they removed from combat duty, starting with mih-21, mig-21, mig-23, mig-25, mih-27, mih-29, dry, er, su-27mye are removed, now they are putting them, putting them back to combat duty, that is, it is possible to say that the russians have ice, that is, planes, as well as the flight crew, which they are now trying to raise, in principle. there are still wars for a few years - in this mode, then they produce, yes, they now produce the same dryers, mainly these are the thirties, su-34, su-35, they produce several dozen of them per year, that is, there is little - production is at its maximum , they can produce a few dozen of them per hour, but they sell part of them there, and the number of aircraft

they have, they do not use in full, again only a few dozen of them are used ... half a thousand aircraft , which are located at these several dozen airfields, are used only, there may be 30-40 aircraft, no more, so it can be said that they have such an infinite supply of aviation at the moment, we will not completely destroy it , but nevertheless it is necessary to set the task, why? the fact is that after such an attack, the russians begin to withdraw further, that is, if they understand that we have... this is already the flight time, the flight time, it increases to half an hour in one direction, at least, and this means that the level of preparation is already decreasing, the time of being in the area of ​​the combat task, because it is still flying in the opposite direction, that is, it is necessary

to drive away, that's exactly what we drive away the planes further from the front line is optimal. i wanted to ask you about what is happening right now directly at the front, now they are talking about a slight advance of russian troops near several populated areas of ukraine, we are talking primarily about avdiivka, about maryenko, about bakhmud and...

that is, marynka, this is ovdeevka, this is bakhmud, and this is kupinsk. and on these four platforms, they have strategic tasks in kupinsk and in general on the left bank, on the eastern bank of oskolo, they have the task of squeezing our troops to pieces, improving its defensive position, this is not an offensive task in the area of ​​kupinsk lyman, this is a defensive task, that is , a strategic defensive task, will squeeze us from the left bank of the oskol, occupation. along the border, that is, along the rivers, and this is mainly the oskoly river, it then falls into seversky and yes, they need to push our troops beyond oskol, beyond seversky donetsk and further beyond...

it did not work out, there was not enough ammunition, most likely, and the russians are now trying to improve their positions in the berkhovka area in the winter in order to move us away from bakhmut, again they do not solve tactical, tactical questions, because there without solving strategic questions, without, let's say , an exit... beyond the bakhmud garrison, or rather beyond the bakhmud frontier, there the questions are not solved for them, they cannot break through, we are still , if considered from a military point of view, we

hold the bakhmud line, they cannot pass it, they rested on the chasovyar garrison, and it just to the west holds the heights in the bakhmud region, in the donetsk region, they again have a strategic task of moving away our garrisons from marynka from the south of north donetsk, indeed, they will push back at least 30 kilometers from donetsk so that we cannot control them from the movement of russian military columns around the city itself, their strategic task is to push our troops beyond karlovka, the border of kurakhova, karlovka, cheretina, that is, it is kilometers 30 from the city, the army army will not reach, because strategically they definitely can’t do anything there , they won’t be able to, because just these garrisons... kurakhovsky supports the mariinsky garrison, the karlovsky garrison and ocheretinsky supports the avdeev garrison, and there is simply no way for them to turn around, because the tactical

moments that they get in the avdeevka and marenka area, while they have such a point-like local character, they will not turn into any strategic moments, not even operational ones they will arrive, they cannot surround avdeevka, they are already trampling for the third month t... thank you, thank you, mr. roman, roman svitan, military expert, colonel of the reserve of the armed forces of ukraine, was in touch with us, we talked about the situation in ukrainian the front and now let's move to the middle east, where

the war continues, a war that is now aimed at israel's destruction of the hamas terrorist movement in the gaza strip. we will talk with the editor-in-chief of the israel portal of details, emil shleimovych, good evening, hello, just before the start of ours. conversations with you, mr. emil, i saw information that, in principle , certain details of the truce, a new truce between israel and hamas have already been agreed, the head of masad met with the prime minister on this matter, as we know qatar, there were such negotiations, which they did not even begin to hide, and now the question arises, what can such a truce look like, if it will happen, yes? it is very difficult to say, if you take into account a lot of factors, it was initially assumed that the assumptions that israel will make will give yahisinvar the opportunity

to... let's say, get out of there, that is, not to save our lives, but to delay the end, let's say , due to this, israel will be able to stop hostilities and move to the next phase, the case is for the second leaders, who are still in the fact that under the pressure of the united states , for the second reason, the army is preparing for the fact that when in the north, in the north-central part in the south -central... then the rafiakha zone will still remain, and egypt does not want any hostilities there, it is afraid that the refugees who are there in large numbers will break through the border, there are up to a million of them there, as far as is known, if not more, so in principle, in this case, there is a war will go to the second stage when in gas

there will be much less people, there will be... israelis, i mean , the intensity of fire will be reduced, there will be more targeted operations against specific groups, against specific tunnels, this will help our army to return reservists home, because it is very expensive war, but this is how it might look the next day, this is how the armistice might look, but we have yet to see whether there is confirmation of this transaction or whether it exists... tell me, but in principle, if we talk about the progress of this operation, how much israel really has time from an international point of view, let's say this, we understand that there is a window of opportunity that may close. you know, international opinion, in general , is quite positive now, we are not talking about specific, maybe rallies or anti-semitism on campuses, these are not events

that affect people, i accept. the emirates, egypt, jordan, that is , saudi arabia is sufficient, the united arab emirates, a powerful and significant state in the arab world, on the other hand, the same saudi arabia, of course, wants calm down, on the american side, we depend on much.

this is an expected scenario, but other countries , well, the french foreign minister came with us to talk about a truce, there we, on the one hand, do not feel strong pressure, there were operations when it was much stronger, but here are the palestinian terrorists, they really just got finally, from the side of the usa, the saudis, some other influential players, well, at least, i think, the month definitely exists, and at the rates that are going now, this... what are you do you think about russia's reaction? president putin again spoke about the middle east and once again actually supported the hamasites in their speeches, despite the fact that it seems that his conversation with the prime minister of israel , benjamin netanyahu, somehow, well, it is possible from the russian point of view, to soften these differences, which exist between the two countries

in... putin for communicating with iran, yes, and 50 minutes is impossible, as she wrote to a journalist, praising, praising putin for helping to free an israeli hostage with a russian passport, in general a strange situation when the only young man was released. they say putin himself interfered , well, it doesn't matter how you can relate to these statements, you know , positively, firstly, er, the mask has slipped, well , the mask has finally slipped off the face of this person, here in israel, this is what they shouted: there is no need to help ukraine, but look, they did not vote against us in the un like that, they sit as quietly as mice, they are not seen or heard at all,
